BTL SWT shockwave therapy is a non-invasive state-of-the-art solution for the elimination of chronic pain occurring in the musculoskeletal system. It has its applications in physiotherapy, orthopaedics and sports medicine. In chronic muscle and tendon conditions such as: painful shoulder syndrome, tennis/golf elbow, back pain, Achilles tendon pain, tendonitis, trigger points and others. The high energy of the shockwave has an effect on the body’s tissues, leading to a multidimensional impact, including: neovascularisation, accelerated removal of metabolic products, collagen stimulation and dissolution of calcified fibroblasts. The action in this area provides excellent conditions for accelerated regeneration, so that normal body function is restored and pain is abolished.
Shockwave principle
Shockwaves are acoustic waves that transmit energy to the area affected by pain in the musculoskeletal system with subacute and chronic conditions. Thanks to the energy delivered, healing and regeneration processes of soft tissues take place.
THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS
REDUCTION OF MUSCLE TENSION
Blood circulation is one of the primary effects of shockwave therapy. It provides better nutrition to hypertonic muscles, tendons and ligamentous structures. Furthermore, there is also a weakening of pathological interactions between actin and myosin. This leads to a reduction in muscle tension.
ACCELERATED HEALING INCREASED COLLAGEN PRODUCTION
The production of sufficient collagen is a necessary prerequisite for the recovery of damaged musculoskeletal structures.
ACCELERATED METABOLISM AND MICROCIRCULATION
SWT technology accelerates the removal of nociceptive metabolites, increases oxygenation and improves the supply of energy sources to damaged tissue. It supports the removal of histamine, lactic acid and other irritating substances – most of which are acidic.
